Chapter 70: Diudiu's Sichuan Opera Face-Changing, Shield-bao, Have Mercy on Me!

Diudiu and Luna were opening safe boxes in the executive suite.
Red Wolf was quietly looting death crates down in the large pit.
"Glass cannons, the two of them couldn't even cobble together a tier-five set between them, only their guns are worth anything!" Red Wolf complained.
At that moment, Diudiu called out, "Baby, hurry up and come on up! I left a whole row of safe boxes just for you!"
"You loot them, you loot them!" Red Wolf replied, "I'm coming up right now!"
With that, Red Wolf hit the zipline and headed straight up.

The moment he landed, he found a shield-dog holding a ballistic shield and staring right at him.
"What the— there's a shield-dog!"
Red Wolf's immediate reaction was to swing his knife.
"Sit down, will you!" Li Yishu countered with a shield bash, sending Red Wolf flying straight back down into the large pit.
"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!" Red Wolf roared frantically, scrambling around blindly at the bottom of the pit.
Li Yishu casually tossed a roll of barbed wire down.
Red Wolf instantly quieted down and didn't even dare to crawl anymore.

Diudiu asked, "Baby, what's wrong?"
Red Wolf said in an agitated tone, "Mommy, there's a shield-dog, there's a shield-dog, it's a camper!"
"A shield-dog?" Luna asked, "Just one?"
"Yeah!" Red Wolf urged, "Hurry over! You're the only one who can deal with a shield-dog!"
Luna instructed, "Little sister, keep looting the safe boxes first, I'll go take care of that shield-dog!"
Diudiu chimed in, "Baby, do you need my help?"
"It's just a shield-dog, I'll wipe him out!" Luna sprinted toward the top floor of the buoyancy building.

She scoped in first to survey the area below.
Seeing Li Yishu standing right beside the aviation crate using a medical kit, she jumped straight down from the ladder.
Luna immediately cooked a flashbang and tossed it toward the aviation crate below.
Li Yishu executed a shield bash, swatting the grenade away mid-air.
Luna cursed, "Damn, he actually knows how to play!"
"Baby, you can do it!" cheered Diudiu.

Inside the livestream chatroom,
Young Housewife: "Red Wolf and Luna completely lost themselves amidst all those 'babies'!"
Good Son: "Wait, is Diudiu still looting safe boxes?"
Mommy Loves Me: "Watch out, all three of you are gonna get wiped by the shield-dog!"
AMD I Turned It On: "I beg to differ, one-on-one, the advantage lies with Luna!"
Tokyo Isn't Very Hot: "Luna just needs one shock arrow, and that shield-dog will settle down real quick!"

Shortly after, Li Yishu retreated to the doorway of the oil tanks.
Luna stepped forward, cooked another grenade, and aimed squarely at the doorway.
Inside the livestream chatroom,
That's It: "Isn't she finished?"
Tianyin: "Luna is gonna throw the grenade and follow up with a shock arrow!"
Flower Porridge 666: "Little Yishu has encountered his lifelong nemesis!"
Enamored by Aunties Again: "Looks like this play is gonna send her straight to her grave!"
Pale Wolf: "If a shield-bash grenade comes your way, you're toast, and once that shock arrow hits, you're done for!"

"Five, four, three..." Li Yishu muttered the countdown, then executed a right-click shield bash forward before sprinting toward the zipline.
Right after, the grenade exploded right at the oil tank doorway.
However, Li Yishu had anticipated the move and successfully dodged the opponent's explosive.
Inside the livestream chatroom,
Speechless All Day: "Holy crap, a predicted instant-cook grenade?"
Xingyang Sunflower: "What kind of play was that?"
Fish-Fishing Little Prince: "I seriously suspect Little Yishu plays Luna on the side!"
Eat Less Cilantro: "Luna usually throws her grenade around the two-second mark, that timing was dead-on down to the millisecond!"
Wangzai QQ Candy: "Don't panic yet, Luna still has her shock arrow!"

Just then, Luna closed the distance, switched directly to the shock arrow, disabled the bounce function, locked her crosshairs on Li Yishu, and strafed left and right while aiming.
"Bro, I was just waiting for you to get close!" Li Yishu immediately used his observation port to track her movements left and right.
The exact moment Luna fired the shock arrow and paused her movement, Li Yishu threw his grappling hook.
"Hooked!"
The shock arrow embedded itself into the shield, but Luna was reeled right up against the front of the shield.
"Bzzzzzt!"
Both of them were being zapped by the shock arrow together.

Li Yishu followed up with a ruthless shield bash.
Luna stumbled back to her feet, only to take another shield bash.
A second later, she collapsed to the ground.
Li Yishu ignored Luna and sprinted back inside the oil tank to heal.
Inside the livestream chatroom,
I Really Want to Whistle: "Damn, that sequence of plays was top-tier!"
Nut: "He straight-up face-tanked the shock arrow and reeled Luna in to share the electrocution!"
Brother Wei: "Luna's mechanics were already decent, but Little Yishu simply outplayed her!"
Empty Cup QAQ: "That was trading ten thousand to damage eight thousand, but it was totally worth it!"
Who Knows: "Aren't Luna's teammates still looting safe boxes? That's kind of hilarious!"

In no time, Li Yishu had restored his health.
He stepped out of the oil pipe and surveyed the glass room above.
By this time, Diudiu had finished clearing out the safe boxes.
"Baby, what happened to you two?"
Luna: "Mommy, the shield-dog was too sneaky, I couldn't beat him!"
"Huh?" Diudiu gasped, "Baby, even you couldn't beat the shield-dog?"
"Mommy, save me, hurry up and save me!" Red Wolf cried out, "Your tank is still with me!"
Diudiu hurried out of the executive suite and jumped from the ladder into the buoyancy room.
She scoped in immediately to check on the shield-dog.

Li Yishu strafed left and right, waiting for her to fire.
Inside Diudiu's livestream chatroom,
Eat Dog Shit: "Diudiu, hurry up and send the secret code to beg for mercy!"
Guessing: "There's so much high-tier loot, one shield-dog can't possibly eat it all!"
Mommy Loves Me: "Sharing the joy is better than enjoying it alone!"
What is Older Sister Hiding?: "After threatening her teammate, she starts selling her out!"
You Really Are a No. 6: "Is there anything the Sugar Diudiu won't do?!"

At that moment, Diudiu spoke up, "Baby, I don't dare go down there!"
Luna asked, "Baby, how much loot are you carrying?"
"I only have over eight million!" Diudiu replied.
Red Wolf suggested, "If all else fails, go pull the switch, and ambush the shield-dog when he goes to extract!"
Diudiu whined, "Baby, how could I abandon you guys? I'm gonna fight him..."
"Bang! Bang!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"

Hearing the familiar gunshots, Li Yishu was momentarily stunned before muttering, "Brothers, is she sending a secret code to beg for mercy?"
Inside the livestream chatroom,
I Pity Her: "I'm dying of laughter, the clearing squad has a traitor in their midst!"
Family Has Three Treasures: "Begging for mercy when you can't win, this Wulong player is probably a little sister!"
Coco Co: "As the ancient saying goes, he who adapts to circumstances is a wise man!"
Let Me Hibernate: "Little Yishu, reply with the secret code already!"
Majestic Charge: "Take down the Wulong, take down the Wulong, hurry up and take down the Wulong!"
Be Rational: "Reply with my ass, the moment you lower your shield, the opponent might just open fire!"

There was no way Li Yishu was going to drop his shield and give the opponent an opening; he continued to keep a watchful eye on the Wulong above.
Diudiu kept firing her gun.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Diudiu pleaded, "Shield-package, don't hit me, I'm a good person!"
Inside the livestream chatroom,
I'm So Cool: "Wait, it looks like your secret code landed right on the guy's shield!"
Mei Chuan Wen Xiong: "Following Red Wolf and Luna's sudden attitude changes, Sister Diu has flipped too!"
Call Me Little Calculator: "Two useless sons, watching helplessly as Mommy throws herself into another man's arms!"
Golden Ring: "I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe, Red Wolf and Luna called her 'Mommy' for nothing!"
I Am the Shield King: "Stop waiting, the shield-dog has no way to reply to your secret code!"

Diudiu continued her efforts to transmit the secret code.
Li Yishu responded by jumping up and down in place three times.
Diudiu cried out excitedly, "He replied to me! He replied to me!"
Red Wolf: "Mommy, you switched sides just like that?"
Luna: "This..."
Diudiu declared, "Babies, wait for me to come down and save you!"
Red Wolf: "Mommy really didn't forget about us!"

With that, Diudiu put away her gun and hopped straight down from the ladder.
She descended another ladder, arrived right in front of Li Yishu, hopped up and down, shook her head left and right, and even sprayed a little heart graffiti on the wall.
Li Yishu responded by marking her backpack.
Diudiu was smart enough to catch on; she proactively dropped her backpack onto the ground, discarded her dual weapons as well, and made a move to revive Luna.
Seeing this, Li Yishu grabbed her back with a grappling hook: "Bro, did I say you could revive her?"

Diudiu immediately relayed the message to her two teammates: "Babies, he won't let me revive you!"
Red Wolf: "..."
Luna didn't say a word; she quit the game right then and there, turning into a death crate on the spot.
Diudiu: "Baby, why did you quit?"
Red Wolf sighed, "Forget it, as long as you're alive, just bring my gun back!"
Diudiu whined, "Baby, are you going to abandon Mommy too?"
"Goodbye, Mommy!" Red Wolf also turned into a death crate.

Inside Diudiu's livestream chatroom,
Love in Broccoli: "Too funny, even after quitting the game Red Wolf didn't forget to call her Mommy!"
Mommy Loves Me: "You gotta learn from Red Wolf, start things with a beginning and see them through to the end!"
Sexy Female Cockroach: "Diudiu is living the dream now, two people get to loot the entire map's supplies!"
Lili Feiyu: "Not gonna lie, Diudiu must have been stuffed full of loot ages ago!"
You're Such a Scooter: "Hurry up and go loot your tank!"

Shortly after, Diudiu pinged locations for Li Yishu, signaling him to loot her teammates' crates.
Li Yishu laughed: "Brothers, this is a good Wulong, let's escort her to extract together!"
With that, Li Yishu went to work.
He collected Luna's helmet, armor, weapon, and chest rig all at once.
Then, he pinged the bottom of the large pit.
Li Yishu commanded, "Wulong, go loot your teammate's crate up here!"

Inside the livestream chatroom,
Carefree: "Holy crap, can you even do that?!"
Love to Sleep In: "You killed her teammate, and now you're making her loot her teammate's crate for you?!"
Crying Hailstones: "When it comes to killing someone and crushing their soul, Little Yishu is unmatched!"
You Bird Lulu: "Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable!"
Old Days Return: "That play makes total sense, otherwise if he went down there and got backstabbed by the Wulong, it would be over!"

Seeing that she didn't react, Li Yishu unequipped his chest rig and gun, then pinged the bottom of the large pit again.
"You want me to go down and help you loot?" Diudiu finally caught on and pinged the bottom as well.
Li Yishu shook his shield up and down to indicate agreement.
Inside Diudiu's livestream chatroom,
Ten Miles of Spring: "Damn, this shield player's level of caution is terrifying!"
Auntie's Stockings: "After selling out her teammates, Diudiu has to help the enemy loot their crates too!"
Cow Coo: "Dignity is a concept that has never existed in Diudiu's dictionary!"
Moon Rises Over the Sea: "Hurry up and go! Otherwise you won't make it in time to pull the switch!"
Black Socks: "Other people extract by diving into the water, you extract by begging for mercy!"

In no time, the cooperative Diudiu unequipped her own chest rig as well, took the zipline down into the large pit,
put Red Wolf's helmet, armor, weapon, chest rig, and backpack onto her own body, and then rode the zipline back up.
She dumped all the items onto the ground.
Diudiu lay flat on the floor, pinged her own massive red loot bag, and whined, "Shield-baby, do you want me to help you organize your backpack?"
Inside the livestream chatroom,
What's-His-Name: "Holy shit, I yield!"
I Am a Dog: "Damn, you're even helping him organize his backpack?!"
Good Boy: "How can anyone abase themselves this much just for a little loot? Aside from Diudiu, nobody!"
Coco Co: "Shield-bro is finally experiencing what it feels like to be high and mighty!"
Can't Do Without You: "This emotional value is maxed out to the absolute limit!"
